I literally went through 10+ videos to understand the breadboard and this is hands down the best explanation!

[MrPanetela]

this presentation proves the 80/20 principle wrong;
less than 5% of youtube is actually useful.
Here is 12 minutes of pure understandable information
that will benefit anybody who watches it.

I am a Software Engineer (Bachelor Degree and years in the profession) an 2 colleges each never explained how to use a breadboard and just assumed we knew how they worked. Thanks for the basics. I am tired of hardware being a weakness of mine in personal electronic setups.

This is a spectacular contribution to humanity.
I nominate this video for best picture at the Oscars.

[donaldklopper]

Simple, professional, to the point! Thank you for the tutorial.

[vidu]

many thanks. Im a 29 year old man now, at childhood, didn't had good income to buy a Arduino kit, i really loved to use a one. recently i brought some uno boards, breadboards and some sensors . i didn't know actually how to use breadboard correctly. this helped to understand it.

I search around the internet to understand the breadbord in vain, No one have explained it like you. Really thank you well job. you have got a follower

[cameroncox]

I've had to use breadboards for a year now and never felt like I really got it until this video. Thanks!

[plekkchand]

Just what the doctor ordered. Lucid and well-illustrated, without irrelevant ramblings and blunders in the final product typical of other such videos.

[nalylulu]

Very clear explanation, best tutorial I've found online :)

[mukulbhatta]

I watched a lot of videos related to Breadboard. None of them were clear except this one.

[tryhardneckbeard]

Cannot express enough how helpful this has been, you're a legend in my book. Thank You Sir.

It's funny, started out wanting to sell my old massage chair; but had to repair the head rest swivel. Went out and nobody had the parts. Thought to myself, it would be nice to know how to machine those parts. This led to a video where a guy built his own computer assisted wood and aluminum cutting tool. I came across the concept of Arduino after that; but still didn't have a clue about electronics; so I went more basic to this idea of breadboards.

I've always wanted to build my own stuff. Or to learn how to repair stuff.

I really appreciate not only this video; but the content on your entire channel and the website you put up.

I feel it is time for a major change in my life; where I learn to become much more self-reliant. It's 2024; and already many great shifts have occurred.

Thanks, and I subscribed just from this one video.

Watching this just an hour before my electrical laboratory session. Thanks for the great video!

[Ayameex]

I'm trying to learn to do basic electronics on my own and this video was extremely helpful for me. Thank you for making it.

[Rockhopper]

Thank you for a straight to the point and clear explanation, I could not get my head round this at school, thirty years later you given me the courage to once again have ago at electronics,

[blackbonestudio]

This video got so much input but you presented it very well enough for newbies like me

[cookieuk]

Really well explained without making assumptions of prior knowledge. Thanks.

[patchyst]

Coming from someone who has a bunch of stuff like this laying around the house with a crappy idea of how it works, I found this video extremely helpful.

[Ratlins]

This is a comprehensive and well made video. As a newcomer to electronics, this video was well narrated with step by step explanations and instructions on the use of a breadboard. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
